TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ikaaqtalik.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Ikaaqtalik is a landing in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada. It is classified as a town. Ikaaqtalik is located at 72.8169°N, 76.4614°W.
Ikaaqtalik rests upon the stark Arctic coast, a place where the land meets the sea in a long, patient dialogue of ice and stone. It lies 51.1 km east-north-east of Pond Inlet, NU (from Pond Inlet, NU: bearing 75°T), and is situated 40.6 km east-north-east of Nutarasungniq. The terrain here is dominated by the proximity of the Itirlak, which carves its path toward the Kuururjuaq, creating a landscape defined by the sharp edges of the north. At dusk, the light loses its heat, turning the horizon into a bruised violet that clings to the ground long after the sun has retreated. The air holds a crystalline clarity, sharpened by the proximity of Sirngmikuluk, which stands as a silent sentinel thirty-one kilometers away, watching over the vast, treeless expanse. The history of Ikaaqtalik is held in the quiet persistence of those who navigate these waters and the seasonal shifts of the coastal economy. Life here follows the ancient requirements of the environment, where the rhythm of the tides and the migration of wildlife dictate the movement of the day. The local culture remains deeply rooted in Indigenous heritage, with traditions passed down through the observation of the shifting ice and the seasonal harvest. Even in the cold, there is a distinct beauty in the way the frost gathers on the gear left near the shore, turning functional tools into ephemeral sculptures under the pale, low-hanging moon.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Ikaaqtalik is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
